Google Doodle celebrates the 30th anniversary

The interactive Google Doodle celebrates the 30th anniversary of the famous maze-hunting video game, Pac-Man. Initially intended to be a one-time easter egg, the company was encouraged by the positive feedback to create more interactive logos in the future. The new Doodle is currently playable, though it will transition to an archive page after this weekend. Alternatively, you can click on the game logo on the home page to play it.

The original arcade game was not fully planned, and the developers were happy to surprise fans by making an alternative version. Known as Pac-Mania, the new version of the game has an interesting layout and a HUD to help players progress. However, the game’s mazes are designed for 16:9 screens, which made it impossible for most players to play it properly on the original size. For the Google Doodle, however, the developers created pixel-perfect reproductions of the original game.

The classic arcade game PAC-MAN was a global hit when it first hit the market in 1980. The game has been translated into over a dozen languages, and has a loyal following. To mark this anniversary, Google has created a special Doodle for the game, which can be played directly from the Google homepage. Google first created a doodle for Pac-Man in 1998 and created an animated version earlier this year. 

The arcade game grew in popularity after it first hit the market. Originally known as PuckMan, it sold more than 300 million copies in the US alone, and the game has since influenced many other video games. Its popularity has led to it being hailed as a landmark moment in gaming history. So, if you’re an old school gamer, it’s time to revisit the classic game.
